That tip is the best one you'll ever get.

Look at your last game:

This was a 2-hor game (!) with increment. You finished the game with a lot more than 2 hours on your clock. No matter what happened, you always made some random move within seconds, and you lost all your pieces.

Don't do that, Don't play random moves. Use your time and think.

This is the only thing that matters. Openings are irrelevant.

But those are the best parts of chess!

There are some nice Fishing Pole traps in the Italian.

Ouch!

Noemi, what i was trying to say is, and it is repeating again and again: chess com user makes topic “how to play this opening or how to play that opening”. I look at his games and see that he is blundering checkmates, blundering queens, blundering all his minor pieces in every game. If you blunder all your pieces, opening absolutely does not matter, but allmost nobody understand it ( i mean nobody below like 1000). GM Ben Finegold in his great stream about teaching beginners said: “do not teach beginners any openings. It is the worse thing you can do. Give him principles …”

Yes this makes sense. My games are usually decided by the other person just resigning or me losing a Rook for no reason I would say learning to avoid some opening traps is important at below 1000 level though because there are so many people trying them, especially below 500 (and then who resign as soon as the trap doesn't work!).
